Supppose I want to get 100 spaces in one variable then how best can I do it.

Hi,

Define a variable of char type.

data v_tmp type char150.

v_tmp+100 = 'abcdefgsdjknsdnsdn'.

This way variable will have 100 spaces first and then abcde....

you need to follow some thing like this :

data: v_source(10),

v_material(8),

v_space(9),

v_spec value '#',

v_spclen type i.

v_spclen = 10 - STRLEN( v_source ).

DO v_spclen TIMES.

concatenate v_space v_spec into v_space.

ENDDO.

CONCATENATE v_source v_material INTO v_string seprated by v_space.

translate v_string using '# '.

you can try this:

data: lv_var type string.

do 100 times.

concatenate lv_var space into lv_var SEPARATED BY space.

enddo.
